The ViewRNA Tissue Assay Core Kit, when combined with a ViewRNA Tissue probe set (purchased separately), enables the detection of a single mRNA target in tissue sections using the Fast Red substrate. The ViewRNA Tissue Assay Blue Module enables the detection of a second mRNA target using the Fast Blue substrate and must be used in combination with the Core Kit and two probes sets in order to run a 2-plex assay. (Detect up to four RNA or microRNA in cryo or FFPE sectioned tissue with ViewRNA Tissue Fluorescence Assay.) Each kit contains sufficient reagents to process a minimum of six slides at a time. ViewRNA TYPE 1 probe sets are for use with the Fast Red substrate (Core Kit), while ViewRNA TYPE 6 probe sets are for use with the Fast Blue substrate (Blue Module).

ViewRNA Tissue assays are RNA in situ hybridization (ISH) assays for the reliable detection of one or two mRNA targets within tissue sections. Visualize any gene in any tissue with single-copy sensitivity and no radioactivity. And in case your needs are not met by one of our 6500 catalog probe sets, we have decades of bioinformatics expertise and will design custom probe sets to any mRNA target of interest, free of charge.

With ViewRNA Tissue assays, you can achieve:

• Robust, single mRNA molecule detection in tissue sections
• Accuracy and specificity inherent to branched DNA amplification technologies
• Simultaneous detection of two RNA targets

The ViewRNA Tissue Assay is compatible with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue. Whereas traditional ISH technologies often amplify both signal and background, ViewRNA assays use branched DNA (bDNA) technology to amplify target-specific signal and achieve superior signal-to-noise ratios.
